Gastronomic Tour of beautiful France

First off - for those of you that don't know - Gastronomic is the study of the food and culture.   My oldest son - Joey - is currently touring France with his group from the Restaurant School of Walnut Hill College.  It sure sounds like he is having a fabulous time.   One of their dinners over in France consisted of Ballotting of Rabbit with Foie Gras, Baby Rack of Pork and Chocolate Dome with Caramel Ice Cream.  He is having the opportunity to visit vineyards, learning the method of creating Champagne, touring the caves and of course plenty of taste testing of wines and champagne.  Another dinner consisted of Pike with a Champagne butter sauce, an intermezzo of sorbet made with Marc de Champagne, chicken with sauce supreme, a puree of Celeriac, potatoes Daupinoise, Almond pastry with fresh raspberries and creme brulee.  I wish i could say these words let alone even taste testing some of them.  I wish I was with him but then again he is probably having a better time than mom tagging along.
